Related Articles A brief review of the history of delirium as a Mental Disorder. Hist Psychiatry. 2007 Dec;18(72 Pt 4):459-69 Authors: Adamis D, Treloar A, Martin FC, Macdonald AJ We review the most important concepts about delirium, from ancient times until the twentieth century. We also focus on the question of how these concepts have dealt with the particular problems posed by prognosis and outcome. Althought different terms have been used, a robust description of delirium has existed since antiquity--at some times as a symptom and at others as a syndrome. It is clear that, throughout the millennia, delirium has been--and still is--a highly lethal syndrome; a poor Mental outcome for survivors was often noted. Not until the twentieth century was it thought that delirium was marked by a full recovery among survivors, and this was probably due to the desire for a clear distinction from dementia.

Related Articles Mental Disorder and threats made by noninstitutionalized people with weapons in the national comorbidity survey replication. J Nerv Ment Dis. 2008 Jun;196(6):437-45 Authors: Casiano H, Belik SL, Cox BJ, Waldman JC, Sareen J Controversy exists as to whether Mental disorders are associated with a higher risk of violent behavior. Data from the nationally-representative National Comorbidity Survey Replication was examined. Multiple logistic regression was used to determine whether mood, anxiety, impulse control, and substance use disorders were associated with a higher rate of potentially violent behavior as assessed by threatening others with a gun or other weapon. After adjusting for sociodemographic factors, an association was found between mood, anxiety, impulse control, and substance use disorders and the rate of threatening others. A significant association was found between threats made against others with a gun and both substance use disorders (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 2.27; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.62-3.20) and impulse control disorders (AOR 2.67; 95% CI 1.95-3.66). Threats made against others with any other type of weapon were significantly associated with any anxiety (AOR 1.76; 95% CI 1.34-2.31), substance (AOR 2.63; 95% CI 1.87-3.71), or impulse control Disorder (AOR 2.49; 95% CI 1.96-3.18). Of the disorders studied, social phobia, specific phobia, and impulse control disorders seemed to have their onset ... Source: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov --- 26 days ago
Related Articles A randomized controlled trial of cognitive-behavioral treatment for posttraumatic stress Disorder in severe Mental illness. J Consult Clin Psychol. 2008 Apr;76(2):259-71 Authors: Mueser KT, Rosenberg SD, Xie H, Jankowski MK, Bolton EE, Lu W, Hamblen JL, Rosenberg HJ, McHugo GJ, Wolfe R A cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) program for posttraumatic stress Disorder (PTSD) was developed to address its high prevalence in persons with severe Mental illness receiving treatment at community Mental health centers. CBT was compared with treatment as usual (TAU) in a randomized controlled trial with 108 clients with PTSD and either major mood Disorder (85%) or schizophrenia or schizoaffective Disorder (15%), of whom 25% also had borderline personality Disorder. Eighty-one percent of clients assigned to CBT participated in the program. Intent-to-treat analyses showed that CBT clients improved significantly more than did clients in TAU at blinded posttreatment and 3- and 6-month follow-up assessments in PTSD symptoms, other symptoms, perceived health, negative trauma-related beliefs, knowledge about PTSD, and case manager working alliance. The effects of CBT on PTSD were strongest in clients with severe PTSD. Homework completion in CBT predicted greater reductions in symptoms. Changes in trauma-related beliefs in CBT mediated improvements in PTSD. The findings suggest that clients with severe Mental illness and PTSD can benefit f ...

Related Articles Separation anxiety Disorder in childhood as a risk factor for future Mental illness. J Am Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry. 2008 May;47(5):548-55 Authors: Lewinsohn PM, Holm-Denoma JM, Small JW, Seeley JR, Joiner TE OBJECTIVE: To ascertain the extent to which childhood separation anxiety Disorder (SAD) confers risk for the development of psychopathology during young adulthood (ages 19-30). METHOD: A subset of the participants of the Oregon Adolescent Depression Project (n = 816) was used. Subjects provided retrospective reports of lifetime Mental illness (including SAD) and concurrent reports of current Mental illness at age 16 and were then followed prospectively until age 30. Diagnostic assessments were conducted twice during adolescence and again at ages 24 and 30. Based on diagnosis during childhood/adolescence, the subjects were partitioned into four orthogonal groups: SAD (n = 42), other anxiety disorders (n = 88), a heterogeneous psychiatric disorders control group (n = 389), and a not mentally ill control group (n = 297). Adjusting for demographic variables that were significantly associated with group status and for comorbid disorders prior to age 19, the results were analyzed with hierarchical multiple logistic regression. RESULTS: SAD was a strong (78.6%) risk factor for the development of Mental disorders during young adulthood. The major vulnerabilities were for panic Disorder and depression. CONCLUSIONS: Be ...

Mouse study offers hope for correcting autism's disruption of the brain UCLA researchers have discovered that an FDA-approved drug reverses the brain dysfunction inflicted by a genetic disease known as tuberous sclerosis complex, or TSC. And because half of TSC patients also suffer from autism, the findings offer new hope for addressing learning disorders associated with autism. The findings appear in the June 22 online edition of the journal Nature Medicine. TSC is a devastating genetic Disorder that disrupts brain function, often causing severe Mental retardation. Even in mild cases, learning disabilities and short-term memory problems are common. Using a mouse model for TSC, UCLA scientists tested rapamycin, a drug approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration to fight tissue rejection following organ transplants. Rapamycin is well known for targeting an enzyme involved in the production of proteins needed for memory. The UCLA team chose the drug because the same enzyme is also regulated by TSC proteins. ...

So some guy is petioning to have internet addiction added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Ummm, what? That makes absolutely no sense at all. Like other addicts, users reportedly experience cravings (for better software, faster machines), withdrawal (logging off may cause irritability), a loss of sense of time (wee-hour fixes), and negative social repercussions (it's so much easier to date an avatar).

Stormont Health committee chair Iris Robinson last night accused her political rivals of twisting her comments on homosexuality and denied she believed it was a Mental Disorder. The Strangford MP reiterated her claim that she considered gay sex a sin and an abomination but said it was not her opinion that it was a Mental health issue. The wife of First Minister Peter Robinson has faced calls to step down from her committee post after her comments on a radio talkshow last month. After condemning a homophobic attack on a gay man in her constituency, Mrs Robinson had gone on to criticise the practice of homosexuality and claimed certain men who were confused about their orientation had chosen a heterosexual lifestyle after undergoing counselling. more ...

As bloggers, internet addiction is a job requirement, but we hear it's a bad thing for "normal people." We've noticed quite a few articles recently on cell phone addiction and Web abuse. We think lawyers more than most may be prone to technological addictions, due to their nifty firm-supplied tech toys, many billable hours spent in front of computers, and the ever-present blackberry/crackberry. Wired reports that one influential psychiatrist has proposed adding internet addiction to the manual of Mental disorders: In the March issue of the American Journal of Psychiatry, Jerald Block proposed that Web abuse be added to his field's bible, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Block cites research from South Korea, where, he says, the affliction is considered a serious public health problem, and the government estimates that 168,000 children may require psychotropic medications. In China, the Beijing Military Region Central Hospital puts the number of teenage pathological computer users at 10 million. Like other addicts, users reportedly experience cravings (for better software, faster machines), withdrawal (logging off may cause irritability), a loss of sense of time (wee-hour fixes), and negative social repercussions (it's so much easier to date an avatar). Check. Check. Check. No check-- our social life is just fine, thank you. There are your warning signs for internet addiction, so look out! We wonder if carrying ...
